So You Want to Prank a Super Hero?

So You Want to Prank a Super Hero?

Ah, April Fool’s Day—that day where you get to act like a total jerk and pull the craziest, most zaniest pranks imaginable on your closest friends and sometimes complete strangers, and you totally get away with it by just saying those two magic words. No, not “I’m sorry”—April Fool’s! Then you both smile widely, point at each other and freeze-frame, roll credits.

That’s how life works right?

As per usual with us, we began to wonder…what would April Fool’s Day be like if we lived in the DC Universe? (Yes, this is what we do with our time.) Sure, we could prank our buddies, but what if we could prank the World’s Greatest Heroes and Villains? Well, worry not! On the off, but we-totally-hope-it-actually-happens, chance that we end up transported to the DCU by some Neverending Story-style magic-ry or zeta-beam misfire, we got some pranks all lined up, and we’re sharing them here with you!

SUPERMANPrank 1: Paint rocks different colors of Kryptonite and leave them right outside of Clark Kent’s door. When he walks outside to go to work, he’ll freak out while still in his Clark Kent disguise.

Prank 2: Create a fake news article written by Lois Lane: “SUPERMAN AND CLARK KENT: ONE AND THE SAME.” Include fake quotes saying, “I mean, it was pretty obvious,” and “Glasses? I mean, seriously now.”

BATMANWe’re pretty sure Batman doesn’t take too well to jokes (for whatever reason), so thread carefully on this one.Prank 1: Fill the pockets of his utility belt with inspirational/uplifting messages.

Prank 2: Have Alfred and the Bat-family act and treat Batman like they’re in the 1966 Batman television series—even adding Bat-Shark Repellent to his utility belt.

Prank 3: Tell him Clayface is in hiding at the Calistoga Mud Bath. Watch him question everybody and threaten tubs of mud.
